Most beautiful speakers in the world ?

An alternative is to use the ignore button as tolerance appears to be challenging for you also. ;)

Tolerance for what - multiple posts without any point than arguably "humour". Any other contribution you had in mind except this? Otherwise indeed there is the ignore button.

I think it would be difficult to fully get rid of refraction in the 4th from the top. What do you say?

I hope these images under the below spoiler cover will tell you what I mean...

Edit: As for my preference on dark rosewood or ebony (and similar) aesthetic, let me add one more photo/image under this spoiler cover.;)
Ref. here #688 on my project thread.
- Revival of analog LP player (MC cartridge) in my DSP multichannel multi-driver multi-amplifier fully active stereo system for real time on-the-fly vinyl LP listening (and digital recording, if needed): #688

You really have some nice equipment, you're a lucky guy. But I only asked for your opinion on those 4th from the top on this page. If you're not up for a comment, it's alright, don't worry.

Sorry for my confusion, but I still cannot clearly identify your point of "those 4th from the top on this page"...
Would you please specify the post by posting #?

I was interested in hearing your opinion whether these speakers would have refraction issues:

OK, now I got your point!
As I have never auditioned these wide-strange-shaped-front-wooden-panel & rear-open SPs, I can only "feel" and "speculate" as follows.

The front-wooden-panel seems to me that it was just taken from sunken wooden ship with no "ASR" type audio engineering nor aesthetic design, at all; it is just "in bad taste", "tacky", and "vulgar" at least for my eyes!

I can easily speculate the ugly (or ugliest?) diffraction patterns/characteristics of the total sound, i.e. 16 Hz throughout 22 kHz, with such poor design, especially very narrow directivity of the super-tweeters (STs) together with the bad diffraction patterns of the high-Fq sound given by the STs.

I should stop writing now, even though I can criticize much more and further about the ugly design of those SPs...:facepalm:


By the way, if I would like to proceed into the world of "rear-open-baffle" SPs, I will definitely follow @mikessi's very much sophisticated efforts and approach towards improving the Linkwitz LX521; I am very much impressed by his recent posts and his design shared here, here and here.

One other thing I was aiming at is the fact that drivers are not flush. they are effectively in a hole.

Yes, agree with you; this will further deteriorate the diffraction patterns/behaviors of the total sound.
I cannot understand at all on their non-sense design of the SPs, and I assume they have actually no interest nor measurement skills on sound quality as well as directivity of the SPs...

Some of those I'd consider for the thread 'Ugliest speakers in the World', but here you go, that's how taste works. I wanted to do an update for the topic by listing a 2024 speaker, however, it's just a new iteration of my usual aesthetic:

Looks like the monitor audio platinum. I agree they look terrific and their ebony finish is one of the best in the business.
